As part of the celebration, Jagaruk Yuwa Campaign took out a rally today morning. The rally which began from Maitighar ended at Ratnapark Shantibatika after passing through Bhadrakali, Newroad. Scores of Nepalis clad in dhaka topi, and national dress daura suruwal with national flag in their hands showed prompt participation in the campaign. 
Speaking at the event, Rasriya Topi Campaign's campaigner Janardan Poudel said celebrating the Day means to save 'dying out' Nepali culture and identity.
